The expansive magnolia, at work, has exploded. Although the tree is not as commonly found as in the South, it does have some 'roots' here. Walking in the inner garden, the combined fragrance of vanilla and lemons permeates when you near it. Well, at least for me, that's the way I smell it. I find this aroma most evident in early mornings and afternoons. I'm not a connoisseur of the odor of trees, but I think I know what I breathe. This is pleasant.
I wish my room was closer to it.
Breathe.
Wonderful blossoms! I think it will be a nice fragrance in the combination of vanilla and lemon!
ReplyDeletethere's something the blooms here that smells heavenly but i have no idea what it is. when i drive by it with my windows down, i just want to constantly inhale!
ReplyDeletethese tulip magnolias are growing on me - because of blogland. we get the southern magnolias here with the huge - as big as your head - blossoms.
ReplyDeleteSwoooon . . . at the sight and the smell . . .
ReplyDeleteBeautiful to see and beautiful to smell.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a magnolia like that. It is gorgeous! Our southern magnolias are blooming right now.
ReplyDeleteBeauty blossoms!
ReplyDeleteThe magnolias have popped open here too - it's a great show they put on for those of us so tired of winter!
ReplyDeleteOh yes please.. Beautiful image Birdman, wish I could smell the perfume.
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming you had a good time on your trip and made it home safely! Next time we will make it happen. Our magnolia is blossoming but it doesn't have the beauty of this. Magical!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tree! I can imagine the scent you describe. Wish it were outside my window, too.
ReplyDeleteI always associated Magnolia's with the South...This one's lovely...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! We have yet to see the blossoms, but it's just a matter of time.
ReplyDeleteThat magnolia has more blooms than the ones I know. I don't think of them as being especially fragrant, but I will check next week when I am back in New England.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen one in person, it really is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI wish you could share the scent with us, too!
ReplyDeleteSuch abundance!
